Little shits.

Bad behavior on trains really is tremendously annoying. They’ve put up posters at the station nearest my work and, though I don’t expect them to change anything, it is justifying to hear that other people are annoyed just the same.

From checking online, apparently after those listed on our poster came offenses related to cigarettes and eating and drinking.

Number 1: The way people sit, 24.8%
・People sitting with their legs widely spread
・Young people and the unhandicapped sitting in the priority seats
・People not sitting closely during crowded times

Number 2: Use of cellular phones, 19.9％
・Talking in a loud voice while on the train
・The ringtones of cellular phones being annoying

・People who sit around the door and get in the way of those get on and off of the train

Sorry, being lazy, still more deadlines, so hardly a natural-reading translation. Yargh. More tomorrow.
